If the column you need a default for requires a value when NULL, use the ISNULL function:

SELECT a, b, ISNULL(c, 'DEFAULT') AS c FROM xyz

If you need the default when the field is blank, has some sentinel value or anything else use the CASE/END construct (this is a little more complex, so you should read the documentation, but something like:

SELECT a, b, CASE c WHEN NULL THEN 'Null' WHEN '' THEN 'Blank' ELSE c END AS c FROM xyz
